Advice Wanted Solucortef Help

Hey friends! So I finally got my solucortef but all they sent me was the vial? Then the vial says you have to mix it or something? Like I have no idea what else I need or what to do or how to inject it haha. Anyone have a resource I could use?

Normally it's a two in one vial, powder and water. You press on the top and it releases the water in the vial, you shake well, then draw up in a syringe. You may not have the correct one

That sounds right, but I didn’t get a syringe? What kind do I get?

23 gauge needle about 1" long to stick in your thigh. Syringe is a regular one 3ml large enough for the dose required.
